The proposed land use fee schedule would allow the City to recover more of the cost of
permit review from applicants. It uses a hybrid fee approach that would retain fixed
application fees for most routine permit types but charge a retainer and hourly fees for
more complex, less predictable permits. This approach was discussed at the 4/26/10
Committee of the Whole. The Council is being asked to consider and approve the fee
resolution as well as the ordinance.
